huh? When'd Will upgrade? Exactly! I think I still have a picture around here somewhere of Will and a rabbit! Pammi

Nice! Sounds fun! Dig those shirts too Pammi

*looking up Brittany Murphy* Oh her! Cool :) She's way cuter tho! As for Becky on Rosanne?? Whatever! YOU'RE way cuter!

Oh darn, opened this thinking PT was back.

"Everyone's kids" - they sound like a disease put that way. Perhaps everyone should just stop having them eh? If this is the worst that anyone gets 'screwed' then thank heavens! And whoever said life was fair anyway? Different people are all going to start naming a dozen ways rich are better off then poor and poor get screwed, or men are better off then women and women get screwed, etc, etc, etc. Whatever group they're in, they are the ones getting screwed. Perpetually unhappy people. What about all the people on welfare, some of which have no intention of getting a job or trying to support themselves. We're paying for them too (I'm not trying to give welfare people a hard time in general, just ones who live off it as long as they can to keep from actually working.) What about loser parents who walk away from their children and leave us to work as many jobs as we can to support said children while they live as free as they like. Life isn't fair, go figure. We were all single once, we all paid single taxes once. BTW, it's actually my money I'm getting back that I paid in from my checks...not YOUR money that you paid in. I have a friend who didn't get hardly squat back for child credit because she doesn't work, therefore didn't pay into it. Her and hubby's income were too low. So she got maybe 50-60 bucks. It's a refund of money paid, not money they just have laying around. AND they are supposed to give EVERYONE a break on their taxes by lowering the rate of what is taken out of your paychecks. So there's everyone's piece. This was supposed to be a fun post about a piece of good news, which got turned into a political debate. So if anyone has a bit of good news, let's the rest of us bitch and complain about how WE didn't have the good fortune. Anyone get a new well paying job? Well then screw you too! That's a job *I* won't get. See my point? No? Who cares! Thanks Val

Paul, I understand where you're coming from but parent's are going to be spending money on their kids regardless of whether or not they get a tax credit. Does it really matter if THAT $400 goes to the kids, or the $400 out of the paycheck? Personally, I see it as a relief since I'm going to be spending $400 a month per kid for day care this summer anyways... Ditto. It means that I might be able to start putting a rig back together after selling mine to pay for daycare, kids' glasses, POS car, and hopefully some summer fun for them, etc. As long as people aren't neglecting their kids' needs, it all goes into the same pot and all comes out of the same pot with the kids getting the first helping. If that means the pot's empty when the parents get to it, so be it. The $400 will just help keep the pot sustained a bit longer. Exactly. Pammi

They just passed a new tax law upping the child tax credit....that means an extra $400 bucks each to all of us at the end of July/first of August. Yeah!! Not like we aren't spending way more then that on the little blood suckers anyway! IRS news Pammi

I got it, just saw it late :) I'm from Dodge City, of course I get it

I'm sorry Slappie (holy cow TG!). I just sold my rig as well, but those who knew me knew it was coming. I'm keeping the guts, the Cypres, though and the rest of my stuff because I don't intend on quitting. It's just financial break for right now. I'll show Merrick's rig what it's like to be REALLY jumped for a while You'll never be a whuffo Slappie. You know. You and TG will be back. I'm willing to lay bets on how long it will take too! Pammi

Wow! Those are some great shots! Pammi

I'm sorry you didn't get the job, I'm sure it was disappointing, but it sounds like you are still progressing forward! That's a definate plus and more then some of us can say who still aren't sure of their direction :) Pam

Yeah, I couldn't get it to work either :( Pammi

got it?

Damn, ditto. I'm coming back to visit in July...maybe you can hold off til July 4th :) Pammi

Of course, Remmy. I'm shocked you had to ask. I even posted pictures for cripe's sake. Sorry it took so long. I had to wait for all the hoopla to die down so Merrick could be easily distracted. And another missed thread...I'm so behind! Yeah, he said if it'd been anyone but you Kris he mighta kicked both our a$$es Good thing we love ya! That pic where it looks like I'm completing my own operation with you certainly didn't help the mood! LOL!! Pammi

ROFL! Missed the whole damn thread ... stupid work! I'm so glad I finally have screwing off time again here! hehe I happen to know someone who knows someone who knows a hot chick JT...I'll ask Yeah that is one of ours :) Pammi

VERY nice! I hadn't been able to get on here in two weeks because of work so just saw these. I love them! Pammi

ROFL! I was thinking of another kind of Blue! I thought, damn, that's some kinda friendship to share like that! LOL! Pammi

VERY nice! I'm so jealous! I haven't been poked in a very long time and I'm starting to get the itch. I can't get my nose re-pierced, can't get my tongue redone either, don't want a nipple ring until I get new tata's to put it on, can't afford the tat I want right now, hmmm. Guess that just leaves one piercing to get that won't show

Hopefully this will also open up an area for other things that I might not think to search for old threads on as well. I'm sure there are plenty of possibilities for many incidents that might not even occur to me at all to look for. Pam

I'm not sure how to title this, but I guess a general thread for discussing possibilities as to why one/any incidents happened is needed. Perhaps this is a place that we can talk about any one or more of the incidents, possibilities of what might have or can happen, and learn from others' thoughts or previous experiences. It appears to be an ongoing issue that it's disrespectful or wrong to discuss anything but the facts in Incidents and I too think we need a place where we CAN discuss these things...here? Pam

Sweet! I'm in those pics too Dragontail :) Sunman, you rock! I can't wait to get the video you put together...very anxious to see it! The still turned out really great! There are some fantastic pictures on there. Some of them were kinda dark, but it's really cool with the sunset in the background and the outline of the three of us doing "the McNasty"! Merrick has a friend at work who has some badass photo equipment...wanna be film maker sorta guy, that is lightening the pictures up a little as well. I'll get some of those posted! Pammi

NICE! I'm so jealous! Have a great time down there...it was so good meeting you at Raeford....very funny stories At least one of us overcame our fear of heights (and of being a little drunk for a climb) to climb that beacon! Have fun!! Pammi

Well said LouDiamond. At the very least, the dead deserve some respect. When someone loses their life, be it skydiving, crossing the street or in war, it's a life. It's really not that complicated. Opinions on that person's life are just that, opinions, and their's only one who is qualified to judge any of us. Pammi

Congrats!!! Hopefully I can be on your 500th in July!
